Hey there!

Are you looking for a great choir with open-minded people who enjoy singing together? Then you're in luck, because we're looking for new tenor and bass members for the new semester. Come along to the rehearsal on 28.10. or 04.11. (both at 19:30)! If you come to the trial rehearsal, please register by e-mail (esgchorbonn@gmx.de) so that we have an overview for planning purposes. If you know your voice group, please add it. Whether you already have some choir experience or are completely new - we look forward to seeing lots of new faces!

 

What fixed dates should you plan for?
  • We usually sing once a semester at a church service in the ESG. The respective date will be communicated at the beginning of the semester.
  • There is one rehearsal weekend per semester, which you should attend from Friday to Sunday if possible. This date will also be communicated in good time.
  • And of course, our concert weekend (1-2 concerts on Friday or Saturday). This weekend will also be communicated well in advance.
  • Also there are additional events in which we participate with many people from the choir, for example the nationwide ESG choir meeting ("Einsingen").

Upcoming dates

  • 15.12.2024 11 am - 7 pm: Rehearsal day with church service in the ESG
  • 10.01.2024 3 pm - 9 pm: Rehearsal afternoon with a cozy get-together
  • 01.02.2025 (evening): Concert in Bonn (more information to follow)

What costs will you incur?
The majority of the costs for the ESG Bonn choir are very generously subsidized by the regional church. This allows us to keep the costs very low. Nevertheless, we have decided that we would like to "treat" ourselves to a few things and collect a participation fee (for example, to "buy" musicians for our concerts).

 

The hard facts about the participation fee:

  • The participation fee is charged on a semester-by-semester basis.
  • It is voluntary - if you can't pay, you don't have to pay. We always find a solution in individual cases. Nobody should not be able to sing in the choir for financial reasons.
  • You determine the amount of the fee yourself. We recommend € 25 for students, € 40 for working people and € 10 for those who are short of money.

 

What other costs are there?

  • Our rehearsal weekend is also generously subsidized. The personal contribution in the summer semester 2023 was € 50.
  • Acquisition costs for concert clothing depending on personal needs and taste (the "dress code" will be communicated in good time).
  • Additional events (e.g. Einsingen) also incur participation fees and travel costs. However, these events are of course voluntary.
